An easy recipe that should not take more than 15 minutes to prepare, this recipe is ideal for the warm summer afternoons.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons loose leaf Vanillabazaar.com Madagascan green tea with vanilla

2 cups extra thick cream

1 cup single cream

2 egg yolks

1 cup sugar

teaspoon of Vanillabazaar.com Madagascan pure vanilla powder

A few mint leaves

Preparation

Put the kettle on!

In a pitcher, mix the extra thick cream with the single cream. Whisk in the egg yolks and sugar, and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon. Be careful not to let the mixture boil!

Pour 1/8 cup of boiling water into a cup with the tea leaves. Allow to brew for around 5-7 minutes.

When the tea is infused, strain the leaves and mix the tea with the rest of the ingredients. Let the mixture cool to room temperature and put into an ice cream machine. Run it for around 30-40 minutes and then pour into a freezer-proof container and place in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Once frozen, scoop out a couple of balls per service and decorate with a couple of leaves of mint.

A really refreshing and stimulating ice cream. Just what you need on a warm summer afternoon!
